Since2017, short videos have gotten millions of opinions online. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. In these popular apps, you can even add music and special effects(特效)to your videos. A video usually lasts 15 seconds to a few minutes. People in the videos usually do things like cooking, exercising and singing.
Teenagers enjoy these videos very much. More than 50 percent of junior high school students said they enjoy themselves while watching these short videos. About 47percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report by the China National Youth Palace Association.
The videos let teenagers see something funny and exciting. Many teenagers like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiaoqianyu posted videos to show her jazz dance. This made her win many fans.
However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and less time studying. Some videos are not appropriate for teenagers. Watching these videos is bad for teenagers study and life.
To deal with these problems, Douyin added a new function in April. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government asked the video companies to control these apps and take out the bad videos. The apps have been checked and controlled much more strictly since then, the Beijing News reported.
